I have tried every imaginable configuration to try and get twitter login to work. I've contacted EasySocial (Stackideas) applied their fix and it doesn't work. I switched to JFBConnect and it still doesn't work. Any ideas please advise.

Do you receive a 500 error page ?

Jason,
Can you provide a lot more details about what you've tried and what issue you're encountering? Based on the information above, there's little we can offer other than to make sure you've followed each step in the Twitter App Setup Guide . If it's still not working, let us know any specific errors you are having or any other details you can and we'll gladly help investigate however we can.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

From what I can see - after Twitters new update, many apps have stopped working. I updated the callback url, as suggested by others, but when I try to login to with Twitter it gives me a Bad Request Token and takes me to 404 error page on my site. I am using Easysocial. Latest version of Joomla and Easysocial.

My app callback url is yourfavoritesalesguy.com/dashboard/regis.../oauthDialog/twitter

I have enabled Callback Locking and have enabled the sign in with twitter checkbox. Access level is set to read/ write.

Twitter was a cinch to setup before. Very frustrated. Nothing I do seems to work on my end!

We've implemented a fix for the Twitter authentication issue. It's going through testing now. We anticipate it will be released either late Friday afternoon or Saturday (all pending successful tests).

We do apologize for the trouble but will get things going shortly.

Thanks,
Alex

Ok.. so, we developed and started testing a bunch of code while we sent out a few questions to Twitter regarding the change they made. We finally got a response to our question from them and the 'fix' for this problem is much, much simpler than we were making it.

To fix, please:
* Go to the Twitter Apps Area
* Click into your app
* Go to the 'Settings' Tab
* In the 'Callback URLs' section, add all variations of your domain with 'index.php' at the end. So, for this site, we would add:
http://sourcecoast.com/index.php
http://www.sourcecoast.com/index.php
https://sourcecoast.com/index.php
https://www.sourcecoast.com/index.php
Our Twitter setup guide currently says to only put your domain in there (without the index.php)

Of course, if you don't use http or www, you don't need to add those variations, but it doesn't hurt to add any possible combinations.

We tested with 8.0.0 with that callback change and it seemed to work without issue, but I wanted to pass it along as soon as I could to get everyone going. If you do still have issues, please let us know and we'll gladly investigate further!

Thanks,
Alex
